Re: ORA-12571 error

Modifying the tnsnames.ora file is probably the best thing you can do, but
did I did a work around by adding an entry into the hosts file located in
the win2k system23/etc directory.
I put the name of the box with the ip address listed from
running "ipconfig" at the command prompt.
Hope that helps.

the hostname in tnsnames is not set to localhost probably so DNS lookup
fails since you plugged the cable out.

Hi

I have, on a Win2000 machine, an Oracle database, version 8.1.7. On the
same machine, I have a server connecting to this database.

I start my server which connect at start up to Oracle. Everything is
working fine, and then if some network problems occur (I just unplug the
network cable to reproduce the error), I got the ORA-12571 error
(TNS

acket writer failure), followed by the ORA-03114 (not connected to
ORACLE).

Since my database and my server are on the same machine, why do I get
this error?

Thanks in advance.

Alain
